As Stated before Hume believes that all there is in the mind is sense data. This also relates to personal identity. Ask yourself what makes you, you? Once you have listed a long line of physical and emotional/ mental traits think about why those are what they are. You would explain genetics and blame or thank your parents for the physical traits.
